Talk about going very untraditional

Ok as some may remember...or not, it's ok...I'll be getting married in a few weeks. I tried to get a court date scheduled but they wouldnt do it on the day I wanted (April 1st haha). So my DF got this pastor that he's fixing up his house for to marry us on March 31st (even tho I didn't want that date at all). So now instead of a simple court wedding, I'm getting married by a pastor in a park, and my DF wants me to get a dress now. Ugh! There's nothing like making a tomboy put on a dress! (yes that means I hate dresses). Well as long as the guy doesn't go all religious on us I'm good haha. Also I'm not inviting anyone to the wedding, just the 2 people we were using as a witness.

Sorry that was long, but here's my dilemma... Telling my mother that nobody is invited! Yikes! How am I going to tell her without all the drama?

Also a very untraditional thing is, for the reception/party, it will be the next day and I'm inviting a few old friends of mine and we will be doing laser tag. Hahaha I just don't have the patience for formal :-)

You could always do what my friend did...she told her mom after the wedding was over. They went to the beach, took her friend and her friends hubby with them (friend is a magistrate), she bought a white dress from Wings and they got married on the beach. The crazy part, her mom is a wedding planner. Anyway, CONGRATS!! This is YOUR and DH's day dont worry about everyone else.

I've no advice. When DH and I got married, we eloped in Las Vegas. Anybody who wanted to come and could afford the airfare and hotel accommodations were welcome. Nobody showed. We never expected anyone to come.We loved it!
